Years ago I roomed with two latinos who had a backyard flock. I ended up adopting a beautiful Rhode Island Red hen (which was subsequently stolen by said roommates when the lease ended). Now, three years later, I just leaped in with both feet and got two chicks (intendes as pets). Just yesterday I saw signs that one is surely a Barred Rock but the other is a mystery, perhaps an Orpington. I have no idea how old they are and they came from separate straight runs. From what I have read online, the zebra looks to be female based on the head spot. The other is still far too young to tell (in fact, I had thought my former RIR was a cockerel and I named it Santiago; at about 8 weeks it was clearly a pullet so I changed the name to Santiaga). So I know the sex is never a certainty until later on, but any help with the breed, sex, and ages would be much appreciated. Please and thank you in advance.
